The new Premium Economy Class

Look forward to a new travel experience

With Premium Economy Class Lufthansa will be offering you a new travel experience between Business Class and Economy Class on long-haul flights. Whether you are travelling for business or pleasure, you will enjoy more personal space, more service and more extras. So you’ll be able to enjoy a thoroughly relaxing journey – both on the ground and on board.

You can now experience our Premium Economy Class. Our fleet of Boeing 747-8s is the first to have been fitted with the new seats – the aircraft fly from Frankfurt to the following destinations: Bangalore, Beijing, Buenos Aires, Chicago, Hong Kong, Los Angeles, Mexico City, São Paulo, Seoul, Tokyo and Washington, D.C.

Since mid-January our first Airbus 340-600s with Premium Economy Class on board have been flying from Munich to Hong Kong, Shanghai and Tokyo and since 11 February they have been flying to Seoul.

From mid-April 2015 the A380s will start flying from Frankfurt to Delhi, Houston, Johannesburg, Miami, New York, San Francisco, Shanghai and Singapore and from 15 June 2015 also to Boston and Chicago. From 12 May 2015 our A340-600 fleet will fly from Munich to Los Angeles, Mexico City, Newark, Beijing, San Francisco and São Paolo.*

From the end of this year* at the latest you will be able to enjoy the benefits of the new Premium Economy Class on the entire Lufthansa long-haul fleet.

The benefits of the new Premium Economy Class:

More baggage

You can check in two bags, each weighing up to 23 kg, free of charge – and therefore enjoy double the free baggage allowance you have in Economy Class.**

More to look forward to

You will be greeted on board with a welcome drink.

More personal space

Look forward to spacious and comfortable seating with up to 50% more space: the specially developed seat with its own armrest, fold-out table, adjustable backrest and footrest offers more comfort and more legroom. You will never sit more than one seat away from the aisle.

More entertainment

Experience our extensive in-flight entertainment programme on an 11- or 12-inch monitor built into the seat in front. The programme is operated by a remote control. There is also a power outlet at your seat and a wide choice of magazines.

A separate water bottle at your seat ensures you can enjoy a refreshing drink whenever you wish.

More delight

Take your time choosing from the menu card and enjoy your meal served on china tableware especially designed for Premium Economy Class.

At your seat you will find a bag with useful travel accessories for a relaxing time on board.
